Speech Therapy Services

Carolina Speech & Myo is committed to providing quality speech therapy services to a wide spectrum of ages (infancy, toddler, school-age, teens, adults, and geriatrics).

SPEECH THERAPY FOR KIDS
Speech therapy for our school-aged clients (approximately ages 5-17), incorporates academically-relevant material and activities into therapy sessions, aiming to optimize communication, build independence, and foster positive self-esteem. We also believe that clients are most motivated to work when having fun, so we include many types of therapy-related games into our sessions.

Carolina Speech & Myo offers pediatric speech therapy for a multitude of childhood concerns, including:
  • articulation disorders (trouble pronouncing certain speech sounds correctly)
  • language delays (difficulty understanding spoken language or delayed vocabulary development)
  • fluency (stuttering therapy)
  • literacy (difficulty reading/comprehending printed language)  
  • Orofacial myofunctional disorders (targets muscles of the face and tongue for improved speech, swallowing, breathing, and sleep.)
  • Thumbs Up!® (30-day thumb sucking elimination program)

SPEECH THERAPY FOR ADULTS
We also offer therapy for adults and geriatric clients, including those who have suffered acute neurologic impairment, such as a stroke, brain injury, concussion, postoperative amnesia/confusion, or seizures, and those living with other chronic neurological impairments, such as Parkinson's disease, mild cognitive impairment, dementia, or Alzheimer's Disease. Intervention for our adult and geriatric clients provides them with the opportunity to gain new skills, regain lost abilities, and fine-tune current abilities. Our adult clients are actively involved in developing meaningful therapy activities and choosing therapy materials in order to maximize functionality and therapeutic benefit.
